Andrew Dunstan 38fb4d978c JSON generation improvements.
This adds the following:

    json_agg(anyrecord) -> json
    to_json(any) -> json
    hstore_to_json(hstore) -> json (also used as a cast)
    hstore_to_json_loose(hstore) -> json

The last provides heuristic treatment of numbers and booleans.

Also, in json generation, if any non-builtin type has a cast to json,
that function is used instead of the type's output function.

Catalog version bumped.

Robert Haas b60653bc0b Remove hstore's text => text operator.
Since PostgreSQL 9.0, we've emitted a warning message when an operator
named => is created, because the SQL standard now reserves that token
for another use.  But we've also shipped such an operator with hstore.
Use of the function hstore(text, text) has been recommended in
preference to =>(text, text).  Per discussion, it's now time to take
the next step and stop shipping the operator.  This will allow us to
prohibit the use of => as an operator name in a future release if and
when we wish to support the SQL standard use of this token.

The release notes should mention this incompatibility.

Patch by me, reviewed by David Wheeler, Dimitri Fontaine and Tom Lane.
